Bobby Orr speaks out against bullying at Forest Hill event JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com While he made a name for himself outskating opponents and racking up huge numbers, NHL great Bobby Orr’s latest assist – helping out in the fight against bullying – could be the biggest

Design, Design, print, print, and and Toronto FC players help kick off KickStart distribute distribute direct direct mail mail soccer program in TCH communities starting starting at just at just 12¢12¢ perper piece. piece. fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Alexander Selby joined KickStart hoping to improve his soccer skills so he could one day become a professional player. The 12-year-old is just one of 300 youths taking part in the free eight-week program running August to October that teaches introductory soccer skills, self-esteem, and fair play to youngsters living in 15 Toronto Community Housing (TCH) communities across the city. Funded by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) Foundation and Kia Canada, in partnership with Toronto Community Housing, KickStart kicked off Tuesday inside HoopDome at Downsview Park, with a little help from Toronto FC first team players.

Alexander, who has been playing soccer since age one under the tutelage of his father, who used to play for a league in England, said he was happy the professional players spent time with the budding ones. “I think it’s good they got to come out and hang with the kids,” he said. Now in its fifth year, KickStart offers two practices a week in each community, with one game a week in both the east and west ends of the city. This year, KickStart added an additional 25 participants, a new homework club, and an all-girls program with female instructors. Simone Atungo, interim vice-president of resident and community services for TCH, said the changes were made based on participant feedback.

She noted girls sometimes feel intimidated playing with boys, adding cultural and religious adherence was also factored in. “Now they can engage in sport,” she said. Before the Toronto FC players ran drills and helped the youngsters with technique, captain Michael Bradley offered some words of wisdom. “We couldn’t be more happy for you guys,” he said. “Be good teammates and always give everything you have. These are the things we live by.” Since 2012, KickStart has impacted more than 1,300 kids, trained more than 150 community coaches, and grown from 10 to 15 sites across the city, with all program staff and youth mentors hired from within each TCH community.

WE campaign rewards youth with enamel pins for making selfie pledges Cadillac Fairview launched We Stand with WE campaign at Fairview Mall, Eaton Centre fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com With school just around the corner, students might be consumed with thoughts of courses, schedules, and homework. They might also be thinking about ways to make positive change for causes they feel strongly for. Teaming up with the WE movement in the spring for a three-year partnership, Cadillac Fairview (CF) launched the We Stand with

WE campaign at some of its retail locations across Canada, including CF Fairview Mall, CF Eaton Centre, and CF Sherway Gardens earlier this month, which wraps up Monday, Sept. 5. The initiative encourages young people to snap selfies in front of a pledge wall inside each mall to show their dedication to nature, health, education, shelter, and hunger causes, then posting it to Instagram with the hashtag #WhoWillYouBe to help spread awareness.

Once the photos are shared online, participants will then receive one of five enamel pins commemorating their pledge. Meredith Blake, marketing manager for CF Fairview Mall and CF Shops at Don Mills, said the goal of the campaign is to empower youth to make positive changes in their communities. “We’ve had great interaction at Fairview Mall,” she said, adding about 800 pins have been distributed. “We want youth to stand up for causes they believe in and inspire them to get involved.” The We Store, which sells unisex apparel, fashion

Toronto right to make water work a priority

Write us

pending billions of dollars on replacing wellaged watermains and other infrastructure projects may not be the most exciting thing in Toronto’s budget. But it’s something that should have been a top priority long time ago. As noted in the Metroland special report featured in this week’s edition, the infrastructure backlog is now more than $2.6 billion with $1.6 billion of that amount allocated for Toronto Water projects. And according to the City of Toronto website, there is an average of 1,600 watermain breaks annually, resulting from either the mechanical or structural failure of an underground Our VieW pipe. One would think the older pipes, some dating back to the City puts aside 1850s, would be the ones to for the majority of water$5.6 billion for blame main breaks. water projects But Michael D’Andrea, director of the city’s engineering and construction services, explains the thinner walled spun cast models installed over the post-war period are actually degrading faster. Most of those pipes are located outside of downtown, and not surprisingly the highest break rates are experienced in North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke as the watermains in these areas are also located in predominantly clay soil as opposed to sand. It’s a city-wide issue and with more development taking place across the city due to Toronto’s development boom, the financial implications of not replacing well-aged watermains will be more devastating than the financial costs of doing so. The higher frequency of extreme thunderstorms due to climate change is certainly not going to ease the urgency of taking on such a huge infrastructure project. So it’s a good start for the city to commit $5.6 billion for water upgrades over the next 10 years to reduce its underground-infrastructure backlog down to $265 million by 2025. Let’s hope this concerted effort to address the backlog of renewal needs will continually be backed by a healthy budget. Otherwise, expect more stories of watermain breaks leaving many residents without running water especially during the winter.

Some food for thought for watching Rio Olympics During the Rio Olympics, those of us early birds in the office make it a point to gather for a Games recap before work starts. It’s always a very animated discussion. And Drake is kind enough to provide the music. No, not that Drake. We wish. We’re talking Melvin Drake. He’s in IT. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard IT rap. Anyhow, the game plan for the get-togethers is to get everybody up to speed with what happened the day before and make them aware of what to keep an eye on in the day ahead. But with a week and a half of Rio 2016 TV telecasts behind us, we decided to veer from the usual babble operandi and turn our gaze to the Olympic coverage itself. We focused on one thing in particular our biggest Games telecast pet peeve: the announcers’ use of the word “medal”. Medal is no longer a noun anymore. It appears to be strictly a verb. Before an event announcers routinely say he or she is expected to medal or

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY not expected to medal. Then after it’s completed, that he or she medalled or wasn’t able to medal. The use of medal as a verb is nothing new. It has been going on for the last VI Summer Games and V Winter Games and many viewers talk this way too, now. But the real worry within our group is that other Olympic terms are going to follow that lead. Announcers have turned a lot of other nouns into verbs and fans are copying them instantly. Listen closely to your daily Olympic conversations viewers and you’ll see what I mean. They now go something like this: 1. “So? Don’t keep me in suspense. Did they anthem yet?” “Yep. You just missed it. They podiumed 10 minutes ago.” 2. “Hey, did that kayaker silver again like he did in

London 2012?” “Not quite. But at least he ended up bronzing.” Well, we had our usual lively back and forth and the general consensus was that we were all getting worked up over nothing. So it was time to get to the real purpose of our daily Olympic huddle: share a quick bite before work. It was my turn to pick up the tab, so I proceeded to take the breakfast orders. “So how do pancakes sound everyone,” I cheerily inquired. “None for me today thanks, Jamie,” Jackie responded. “I already waffled.” “I’ll get you next time then. What about you, Arjun?” “Put me down for next time, too. I’m afraid I already French Toasted.” “Zayanna?” “No can do. I burritoed before I left. Twice, actually. I’m stuffed.” Five more co-workers also passed. One because he’d oatmealed. Another because she’d BLT’d. The other three saying they’d honeybunned,

doughnutted and bageled. Heck, even Drake declined and he had only double doubled, for heaven’s sake. There was just one person left. “So what about you Erin,” I mumbled meekly. “Hate to do this to you, big guy, but I’m going to have to take a rain check too. Er, I mean, pancake check. Whatever. The point is I forgot all about you buying breakfast today and I Egg McMuffinned on the way over.” “You mean the Mcway Mcover, I hope,” I corrected. Nobody McLaughed. Tough McCrowd. The $64,000 McQuestion was: do I McContinue? I thought about it, but what’s the point? It was obvious I didn’t have a chance of humour medalling in this group. Better just to McQuit while I’m McAhead. Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. His column appears every Thursday.

special report

Pressure on Toronto’s watermain work RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A road closed by construction – asphalt torn up, dust and debris everywhere, workers in construction helmets milling about – has become such a common sight it’s likely you won’t pay much thought to the work taking place, much less what’s going on underneath. This summer, the City of Toronto is tackling an unprecedented amount of construction, necessitated by an infrastructure backlog of more than $2.6 billion; $1.6 billion of that is for Toronto Water projects, including replacing well-aged watermains. By tripling spending – Toronto has already committed $5.6-billion for water upgrades over the next 10 years, the largest infrastructure program in the country – the city projects to reduce its underground-infrastructure backlog down to $261 million by 2025. “We’re making a concerted effort to address our backlog of renewal needs,” said Michael D’Andrea, director of the city’s engineering and construction services. This year, the city has earmarked more than $550 million for infrastructure, $227 million of that for watermains and another $71 million for basement flooding protection, which includes “upsizing” sewer infrastructure to absorb the deluge of extreme thunderstorms – a more frequent occurrence due to climate change. A total of 238 kilometres worth of sewer and watermain replacement is scheduled for completion by the end of 2016. Some of Toronto’s sewer infrastructure dates back to the 1850s. That might seem like a long time, but it’s actually the underneath infrastructure installed over the post-war period which is degrading faster. Unlike the older water pipes which are thicker and have proven more durable, it’s the thinner walled spun cast models located outside of downtown which are corroding and breaking down much faster, according to

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Above, a construction worker prepares a pipe to be fitted for the watermain replacement work that is taking place on River Street at Shuter Street this summer.

D’Andrea. “(Spun cast pipe is) the worst infrastructure in the ground and when a watermain breaks in the winter, it’s usually one of those,” he said. Another need for replacing watermains is the ongoing intensification fuelled by Toronto’s development boom. A building going up means more pressure on the water system, so planning must account for anticipated increases to population, even if that’s 25 years away. “We can’t forecast how quickly developers will turn that land into development, we just need to be thinking about whether they’re likely to and make sure we’ve got the infrastructure,” said D’Andrea. On River Street, one such project got underway this summer between Queen Street East and Gerrard Street. The work is ambitious, as it will include a complete road-reconstruction plus beautification. Before any of that happens three crews of approximately eight, including a foreman, a backhoe operator, pipe layers

A sinkhole developed at Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue after a watermain break earlier this month.

and general labourers, are replacing the pipes which given the age of the neighbourhood are of the inferior variety and likely made of lead, presenting possible health risks. The workers must also keep a close eye for existing infrastructure such as gas mains

or subway tracks. Planning helps map out the locations and ensures utility companies are made aware of the work, crucial given the inherent dangers of unwittingly interfering with a live gas main. “If you break that stuff you get a free ride to the moon,” said Harry Persaud, a senior

engineer with Toronto roads. Persaud, who was on site at a job inspecting the work carried out by a private contractor, estimates around 40 metres of watermain replacement is completed per day. While the city tries to coordinate the necessary water

and road work into one project in order to minimize expenditures, the ever-increasing urgency to get broken or degraded pipes replaced means sometimes that’s just not going to happen, admitted D’Andrea. “Sometimes you just can’t wait,” he said.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Night for Change fundraiser has brought in $250K over past two years >>>from page 1 ents in the stands, the officials on the ice, the convenors of the organizations are allowing it. We as adults have to handle that.” Burke – always a tough character – became a particularly vocal advocate of anti-bullying initiatives when his son Brendan came out as gay in 2009, and Wilson noted the hockey executive has been an invaluable ally for the organization, the Night for Change. “He’s been fantastic in bringing players in, and the players never hesitate to step up and help,” Wilson said, noting that the Night for Change has brought in $250,000 over the past two years. The Forest Hill resident is no stranger to hosting fundraising events, supporting a slew of issues from cancer research to anti-bullying to anti-abuse initiatives with his partner Debra Thuet.

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology is totally invisible when worn. It offers retirees the opportunity to defy hearing loss by compensating for your individual hearing loss in all situations, day and night. Nobody can see it because it fits snugly and comfortably in your ear canal and uses the ear’s natural acoustics for natural sound quality. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about so there’s no need to keep fiddling and adjusting settings. You can start enjoying life again as you concentrate on hearing, rather than thinking about your hearing aid.

These latest digital hearing aids continuously analyze incoming sounds and adapt to each individual situation, so you always get the best hearing possible. Even in background noise. When speech and conversation sounds are detected, the sound is automatically increased at different frequencies so you can hear and understand it clearly, not just loudly. You get all the benefits you want in a digital hearing aid without the obvious sign that you are wearing one because it’s completely invisible in most ears. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Medical Marijuana Local residents urged to help ….Is It Right for You? city’s trees fend off hot weather Need Help Understanding Medical Cannabis?

Stress of drought conditions can leave trees vulnerable to disease The past few weeks of extreme heat coupled with lack of rain is putting urban trees at risk, say urban forest advocates at LEAF (Local Enhancement and Appreciation of Forests). That’s why they are calling on Toronto residents to help the trees along streets, in parks and in their own yards by giving them a much needed drink of water. The small amount of rain that does fall runs off paved surfaces and into storm sewers barely reaching the trees that desperately need water, according to LEAF, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the urban forest. The stress of drought leaves trees vulnerable to pests and disease. Residents, however, can help protect Toronto’s tree canopy by monitoring the

soil and ensuring trees on their property get watered. Newly planted trees should be watered two or three times a week. For the first two years after planting, trees should be watered approximately twice a week. Place a hose (without nozzle) at the base of the tree on a very slow trickle for about 15 minutes (or give three to four buckets). In the third year, once the tree has established a deeper and wider root system, watering frequency can be reduced to one hour, once per week The city is responsible for watering trees on public streets, but the extreme heat conditions have stretched resources. Local Business Improvement Areas and residents’ groups are stepping in to help, volunteering to water city trees near businesses. For further details, visit www.yourleaf. org

Five-year anniversary held for late NDP leader Justin skinner jskinner@insidetoronto.com It’s been nearly five years since Canada lost widely respected NDP leader Jack Layton, and a group of volunteers are looking to remember the former political star with a special celebration to mark the fifth anniversary of his passing. Layton’s interest in politics began when he was in

school, and he managed to parlay that passion into a long career as an elected official at the municipal and federal levels. He was first elected to Toronto City Council in 1982 and represented the TorontoDanforth ward until 2003, when he took the reins of the federal New Democrats. He led the party until his death in 2011, representing Toronto-Danforth.

His political career was merely a part of his legacy, however, as he was also deeply committed to social justice and activism. Layton was a vocal advocate of labour rights, and was an early activist for the rights of AIDS patients. Later, he co-founded the White Ribbon Campaign, urging men to become more active allies in stopping violence against women.

In 2010, Layton announced he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, eventually succumbing to the disease on Aug. 22, 2011. His widow Olivia Chow and the Jack Layton Memorial Committee are co-hosting an event to mark the fifth year since his death in Riverdale Park West on Aug. 22, 2016. The event will run from 6 to 9 p.m. It will offer a look at his legacy and a glimpse into the future of progressive activism.

Three North York hospitals will receive funding from the provincial government for repairs and upgrades. Baycrest Health Sciences will receive $4.2 million; Humber River Hospital $739,662; and North York General Hospital more than $1.9 million. “With this new and important funding, we are working to ensure that we are building a health care system that delivers faster access today and a sustainable system that will be there for Ontario patients in the future,” Dr. Eric Hoskins, minister of health and long-term care, said in a release. The provincial government said in a release it’s providing $175 million in 2016–17 to hospitals across the province to keep them in a state of good repair so patients can continue to receive “high-quality care in a safe and healthy environment.” The North York hospitals are three of 135 hospitals to receive funding this year through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF).

Once back in Toronto, she applied for a competition being delivered by Enterprise Toronto. “I ended up becoming a finalist,” says Jess. “It was a push – if I hadn’t been a part of the contest I might have just sat on the idea.”

ON NOW AT THE BRICK!

“From the competition there was one person who wanted to sell onigiri, so I sold her some,” she says. “Without that contest, I don’t think it would have happened because every encounter since then has led to something else.”

Abokichi looks to make Japanese convenience store snack a Toronto favourite

SAVING YOU MORE For more details go instore or online @thebrick.com.

It was during a seven-year stint in Japan that Thornhill-native Jess Mantell first tried Onigiri – a Japanese snack made of rice balls stuffed with pickled or salty ingredients, sometimes wrapped in seaweed and commonly sold at convenience stores and gas stations in the country.

By June 2013, she and her partner Fumi Tsukamoto, had incorporated their onigiri concoctions under Abokichi . At first they rented kitchens and sold through shops but eventually moved into the space at the Annex Hodgepodge, taking the shop over form the previous owner and adding onigiri to the existing menu. They’ve also developed a condiment called Okazu, a crunchy filling made of miso, sesame oil, garlic and chili that they often use to spice up their handmade triangular onigiri. We’re hoping to build Abokichi out into a brand that’s much larger than these two Japanese food products,” explains Jess.

A showcase of teamwork at Rookie Rugby Fest FannIE SunShInE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Teamwork. That’s how Katherine Timbol summed up her favourite part of rugby, a sport the nineyear-old has played for the past two years. The Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School student was one of hundreds of youngsters taking part in the Rookie Rugby Festival at Sunnybrook Park last Thursday. Organized by interns at Toronto Inner-City Rugby Foundation (TIRF), the festival at the Leslie Street and Lawrence Avenue park was made up of rugby play and fun relays and obstacle courses for the kids who took part in TIRF’s programs in inner-city communities in the Don Valley area over the past year. Similar festivals were held earlier in the week in Etobicoke, and one was planned for a later date in Scarborough. Sakcham Bhattarai said he was looking forward to the “very fun” relays. The nine-year-old Rose Avenue Public School student, who also plays soccer and baseball, said the part he likes best about rugby is flag tag. Arielle Dubissette-Borrice, who just retired from the Canadian national senior rugby team and now interns with TIRF, said the organization visits elementary schools in low-income neighbourhoods from May to

the end of June to try to get students interested in the sport. And interest just went up, thanks to the Canadian women’s rugby team claiming bronze in rugby sevens at the Rio Olympics. “It was a huge motivator,” DubissetteBorrice said, adding she texted her congratulations to former teammates.

Paul Myers, TIRF’s rugby development co-ordinator, said the festival is about camaraderie and opportunity for young people to learn a sport they might never have tried on their own. “You don’t see it on TV as much,” he said. “And the festival provides great leadership opportunity for our interns.”
